    I have been contacted by a company called RECWALLET about a frozen Bit coin wallet I may have, it would appear I have several bitcoins that I purchased many years ago and to be fair, I cannot remember. I have spoken with them, but deep down I feel it's a scam, has anybody had any dealings or are there recognized companies who can find frozen bit coin wallets
    How can you not remember buying bitcoins?
    Easy done for several bitcoins, not as if it's worth much.

    Found a code starting ABP   in my password book which relates to Bitcoin but I have no idea what/if anything was in there.

    I have a password, 12 character wallet code and 12 password reset key words.  This would have been created really early in the
    life of Bitcoin when you mined it using just your CPU and it was virtually worthless.

    I have no email address linked to it though?   Is this now lost to time?
